First Immortal of the Sword
Chapter 1462 - Attacking the Heart
Chapter 1462 - Attacking the Heart
Boom!
Wu Meng continued his attack from outside the primary peak, slamming their formations.
Follđw current novâŻls on ÆrÄewebnoŃ”Ńl.cÏm.
His massive, blood-colored wings were like knives slicing open the sky. They struck relentlessly, making the formation tremble and scattering a rain of light.
His eyes were blood-red and icy, and blood-colored light emanated from his thin frame. He fought with all the ferocity of a yao god.
He was just one person, but within just a few short moments, heâd flattened the Six Desires Demonist Sectâs gates, destroyed numerous peaks, and killed until their territories ran red with rivers of blood!
But his attacks didn't stop there. Even their immortal formation shook beneath the continuous onslaught. The experts seeking refuge within the main peak quivered with fright, and their hearts sank.
Who could fail to realize that their formation wouldnât hold out much longer?
But Lady Snowjadeâs confidence made their spirits soar.
Cards? And a lot of them at that? Enough to avert this crisis?
Lady Snowjade suddenly said, âSu Yi, if you donât want the entire Shen Family to perish, youâd best have that old codger stay his hand!â
Her voice spread far and wide, beyond the bounds of the formation.
âYou already canât take it?â Su Yiâs eyes shone with a hint of derision. He took a sip of wine, then stepped into the air and waved Wu Meng back. âStep aside for now.â
âYes, Your Eminence!â Wu Meng had been attacking the formation, but when he heard that, he withdrew his monstrous aura and returned to Su Yiâs side, meek and obedient as a servant.
Lady Snowjade and the others couldnât help but gasp. A ferocious, unrivaled yao immortal was behaving so meekly before a young man. This was unquestionably unbelievable!
But seeing Wu Meng stay his hand as he was told was enormously comforting.
Wu Meng, however, laughed coldly to himself. The true spectacle starts now!
âLeave now, and I swear on the reputation of the Six Desires Demonist Sect that weâll let every last member of the Shen Family go.â Lady Snowjade gazed at the distant Su Yi standing in the air. âRefuse, and I can have every last one of them killed the moment I give the order!â
Deathly silence ensued. All eyes were on Su Yi.
He simply laughed. âIs that so? Well, go ahead and give the orders. See what good that does you.â
âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â Lady Snowjade frowned. âSurely you donât want the entire Shen Family to die because of you?â
Su Yi said nothing. Instead, Wu Meng said leisurely, âBlack Toad, itâs your turn!â
Boom!
Heaven and earth shook, and a figure shot through the air. He was a shabby, gaunt old man, and his hair and beard were scraggly and coarse.
Wisps of black immortal light revolved around him, making his imposing presence seem all the grander! But as soon as he arrived, he bowed to Su Yi. âYour subordinate, Black Toad, greets you, Your Eminence!â
His expression was full of excitement and delight.
Lady Snowjade and her allies were visibly stricken. A chill coursed through their hearts. Yet another terrifying expert of the Immortal Dao?
And he... heâs treating Su Yi with reverence too!
All of them instantly realized that this didnât bode well. Their scalps went numb with fright.
âIs everything settled, you old gambling addict?â asked Su Yi.
The old man said hurriedly, âRest assured, Your Eminence. Everything is in order!â
âThen go ahead and broaden their horizons,â ordered Su Yi.
âYes, Your Eminence!â the old man nodded, turned, and waved his sleeve.
A string of bleeding heads rose into the air and hovered in the sky. There were over a hundred of them.
âHow is this possible!?â cried out the high elder of the Six Desires Demonist Sect, fury written all over his face.
The bleeding heads all belonged to experts of the Six Desires Demonist Sect whoâd been ordered to oversee the Abyssal Prison and guard the captive Shen clansmen!
The experts of the Six Desires Demonist Sect were stunned, too. All of them found this difficult to believe.
âNo wonder our threats didnât scare you. So, you saved the Shen clansmen already!â said Lady Snowjade, her face ashen. This obviously came as quite a shock, and her chest heaved with fury.
Su Yi laughed. âDonât be in such a rush to lose your temper. This was just an appetizer. Thereâs still a lot you donât know.â
âAn appetizer?â Lady Snowjade took a deep breath and said coldly, âTell me, then. What else I donât know?â
Su Yi didnât even pause to think. âYou're waiting for that immortal to return from Star Origin Mountain.â
Lady Snowjadeâs delicate frame stiffened, and a hint of panic flashed across her face. She said in disbelief, âDonât tell me...â
âThatâs right. Heâs already dead,â a clear, hearty voice rang out.
A white-robed man with a jade fan appeared in the air accompanying this voice.
Immortal qi circulated around him like celestial tides, his imposing presence startling the heavens and shaking the earth.
But as soon as he arrived, he withdrew his aura and solemnly bowed to Su Yi. âYour subordinate Bai Tuo greets you, Your Eminence!â
Yet another immortal!
Lady Snowjade and the others felt as if theyâd been struck by lightning. Their minds practically went blank.
By now, a full three immortal powerhouses had shown up!
And they all revered Su Yi as if he were a god!
âImpossible! Ancestor Ming Xiao is an expert of the Immortal Dao too. How could something have happened to him?â shrieked Lady Snowjade, her beautiful face deathly pale.
As the leader of her sect, she was shrewd and cunning. Everything that had happened thus far had shocked her, but she hadnât lost her rationality.
But now, she finally lost her composure!
âImpossible? Well, I guess this thing doesn't exist then!â The white-robed Bai Tuo flung a bloodied corpse into the sky.
It belonged to a tall, stalwart elder, but his whole body was covered in startling burns, and his head hung limply from his broken neck.
Even in this state, the experts of the Six Desire Demonist Sect recognized him at a glance. That was Ancestor Ming Xiao! A terrifying immortal powerhouse of the Six Desires Demonist Sect!
âAncestor!!!â
A grief-stricken shout rang out.
Everyone felt a chill in their hands and feet. They were on the verge of breaking down.
Lady Snowjade was dumbstruck too. She stood there in a daze, unable to accept this.
Sheâd ordered Ancestor Ming Xiao to oversee the Star Origin Mountains personally, all to take down Su Yi. Whoâd have thought that Ancestor Ming Xiao would die like this!?
This came as far too heavy a blow. Lady Snowjade almost felt as if the skies were falling.
Bai Tuo considerately took it upon himself to explain, âThere were around thirty small fries on Star Origin Mountain. Theyâre dead too, but I thought their corpses weren't exactly worth bringing back to show you all.â
His voice echoed through the otherwise deathly silence. The air seemed to solidify, so oppressive that the crowd almost couldnât breathe.
Lady Snowjade suddenly shrieked, âSu Yi, do you really think youâve won? Youâre wrong!â
She waved. âSecond Elder, bring forth the hostage!â
The second elder stepped forth carrying a woman.
âSu Yi, look! Do you see who this is?â Lady Snowjade gnashed her teeth, her beautiful face ashen and contorted.
The captive was a woman in ragged clothing. Her hair was loose and disheveled, and her entire body was smeared with blood. A black chain pierced her shoulder and wrapped around her entire body, making her an incomparably pitiful sight.
She raised her head with great difficulty and fixed her hollow gaze on the distant Su Yi. When she saw him, she trembled from head to toe.
Two streams of tears poured down her face.
Complete and utter excitement and delight.
This woman was none other than Mu Zijin. She was Shen Muâs junior apprentice sister and the proprietor of the Pawnshop of the Heavens!
She and Shen Mu had cultivated alongside each other. They were childhood friends.
Later, in the Wilds, she and Su Xuanjun bonded through conflict, developing a close bond.
âSee that? Thatâs your childhood friend, your junior apprentice sister, your masterâs daughter! Sheâs been searching for you all this time, even going so far as to cross the River of Spacetime for you,â Lady Snowjade said harshly. âBut now, sheâs my prisoner. If you donât care about her life, I can go ahead and kill her right now!â
She was the leader of the Six Desires Demonist Sect, but she was showing signs of madness.
Su Yi saw this, and he couldnât help but laugh.
Wu Meng, Black Toad, Bai Tuo, and the others laughed alongside him.
Their laughter seemed extraordinarily grating. When she heard it, Lady Snowjade couldnât restrain her fury!
âIâll kill her! Letâs see if you can still laugh then!â hissed Lady Snowjade. âSecond Elder, do it!â
âGot it!â The second elder raised his right hand and slammed it at Mu Zijinâs forehead.
Boom!
The second elderâs right hand suddenly caught ablaze. The flames spread up his arm to his shoulders and neck. In the blink of an eye, nothing remained of him but ash.
The nearby crowd was stunned. All of them shrunk back.
Lady Snowjade was stunned, and her eyes widened.
Meanwhile, the badly wounded, blood-covered Mu Zijin rose and bowed obediently to the distant Su Yi. âYour subordinate Shui He greets you, Your Eminenceâ
As her voice rang out, her appearance changed. She was now a silver-haired, moving young beauty with a sweet smile on her face.
Wisps of electric Laws of the Immortal Dao flowed around her. Even just standing there casually, she bore down on the crowd to the point that they could barely breathe.
A moment later, Lady Snowjade and the others broke down. They were completely dazed.
Yet another immortal!
Furthermore, sheâd infiltrated their ranks, disguised herself as their hostage, and tricked every last one of them!!
With an immortal formation protecting the main peak of the Thousand Eddies Divine Mountains, the crowd was startled and fearful, but they still felt hope.
The discovery that an immortal had infiltrated their ranks was the straw that broke the camelâs back. They instantly gave into despair!
âShui He, your crying just now was really something. It was just too realistic! I almost didnât think it was really you,â laughed Bai Tuo.
The silver-haired Shui He smiled. âAn act is ultimately just an act. Thereâs no way I could trick His Eminence.â
When she looked at Su Yi, her gaze was as soft as water.
âKill those eyesores first,â ordered Su Yi.
âMm!â The silver-haired Shui He assented obediently.
But before she could attack...
Thud! Thud!
The Cloud Soaring Transcendents of the other seven Demonist sects broke down. Their knees hit the ground, and they begged for mercy in quavering voices.
Even the other experts of the Six Desires Demonist Sect panicked. All of them flung themselves to the ground, lowering their heads and quivering from head to toe.
Only Lady Snowjade remained standing, dazed and alone, her face deathly pale.
Alas, kneeling wasnât enough to save anyone from this disaster. Shui He attacked, letting loose a wave of silvery electric light. It swept over the prostrating crowd, killing them on the spot.
Only Lady Snowjade remained alive!
The leader of the Six Desires Demonist Sect seemed unable to take the weight of this blow. Her face was ashen, her expression wooden. Even her eyes seemed hollow.
She slowly raised her head to look at the distant Su Yi. âYou gathered so many immortals to deal with me. Iâm to die before such a lineup.... Should I feel honored?â
Su Yi shook his head. âYou think too highly of yourself. The one I really want to kill is your martial uncle. Iâm just getting rid of you while Iâm at it.â
â????â
Splurt!
Lady Snowjadeâs chest heaved, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He was destroying her heart before killing her!
